John Griffith's Fishing Tips
July is good for a lot of things: vegetable gardening, baseball, surfperch fishing and other equally important non-boat activities. Regarding boats and fish, however, we have bass fishing in area lakes (largemouth) and in the Umpqua (smallmouth and striped), and Chinook salmon fishing (inland rather than ocean fishing), shifts from the spring variety in the Rogue and Umpqua to the fall variety. That means at its most fundamental level that instead of fishing from anchored boats, we fish from moving boats. And for those who are properly equipped to go upon the ocean safely, we have rockfish, halibut and salmon. Depending on the weather and how close warmer water comes, tuna fishing offshore also should start going off.

If you have put off having your boat and its engine checked out after a long parking and don't typically do it yourself, now would be a good time to schedule it, even if you're aiming more toward late summer or fall for your main period of boat use. It's also nice, when everything's in the driveway or shed and before the cops do it for us, to check the condition and number of mandatory safety gear (lifejackets -- are they getting frayed? -- fire extinguisher pressure guages all up to charge, etc.).

With me anyway, when I go through the first-in-a-long-time boat checklist (at least I'm not to the stage of having to write it, lists are still mental), I remember all kinds of extra stuff: Oarlocks, because my boat can be rowed and sometimes it is; landing net, anchor, cooler chest; tool kit, grease gun, etc. At this stage in my life, I've learned that it's better to start organizing the day before departure instead of waiting right up to the last hour or two before departure. I used to be pretty good at last-minute, but not anymore.

Joke of the Month
July's joke of the month was inspired by the upcoming 4th of July holiday. This joke was found at www.guy-sports.com and goes something like this;

Parable for The 4th of July-

Once, in the 1820's, a little boy called Sam was playing in the yard behind his house. During his pretend fighting game, he knocked over the outhouse. Now Sam was upset and worried that he would get into trouble so he ran into the woods and didn't come out until after got dark. When he arrived back home, his pappy was waiting for him. He asked suspiciously, "Son, did you knock over the outhouse this afternoon?"

"No, pappy," Sam lied.

"Well, let me tell you a story," said the father. "Once, not that long ago, Mr Lincoln received a shiny new axe from his father. Excited, he tried it out on a tree, swiftly cutting it down. But as he looked at the tree, with dismay he realized it was his mother's favorite cherry tree," his pappy paused." just like you, he ran into the woods. When he returned, his pappy asked, 'Abraham, did you cut down the cherry tree?' Abraham answered with, 'Father, I cannot tell a lie. I did indeed chop down the tree.' Then his father said, 'Well, since you were honest with me, you are spared from punishment. I hope you have learned your lesson, though.' So," the Sam's father asked again," did you knock down the outhouse?"

"Pappy, I cannot tell a lie any more." said the little boy. "I did indeed knock down the outhouse."

Then his pappy father spanked Sam boy red, white, and blue. The boy whimpered, "Pappy, I told you the truth! Why did you spank me?"

Pappy answered, "That's because Abraham Lincoln's father wasn't in the tree when he chopped it down!"
